   I always feel like a fuddy-duddy telling people that not having access to the filesystem gives me the willies. But this sort of thing reinforces the validity of my reticence.

   I was wondering if anyone was going to draw the connection between today's news and this story from a few weeks ago: "I Was a Warehouse Wage Slave" http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3641184

   I really appreciated your thoughts in the interview. I'm studying marketing right now, and it's interesting to see how the marketing world wants to start teaching design thinking. I agree with the sentiment that we can do without the term "

   Not between Wallet AND Checkout, but in integrating the Wallet "system" with a system of POS-purchased gift cards. I expect that since Google is trying to get its arms around what is left of Checkout, and what is being built with Wallet, t

   I totally agree. I have an Android phone, but I've had an iPod for years. I really don't like iTunes, but at least it does a good job of making it stupid easy to stumble into purchasing content and apps. I have gotten a lot of gift cards ov

   I know that there is probably conflict between Google Wallet/Checkout - but they need to get on this issue like last YEAR - GIFT CARDS! It just implies that they don'y know anything about who is using Android phones in the U.S. I only have

    Seeing the design elements that went into making the Model S from the ground-up, I am excited to see what a "family" all-electric car built from the ground-up will look like. I wonder if there's going to be another HUGE touchscreen panel. A

    Some ideas for promoting the app: Try to get linked from an official web site, whatever the equivalent of this is: http://www.caltrain.com/schedules/Mobile_Device_Schedules.ht... That may require navigating some bureaucracy, but it may b

    My favorite on that promo? Endomondo Pro. I love the free app, now I'm going to rock it Pro! Sketchbook Mobile is a brilliantly designed app as well.

    Hey bro, don't worry about all of the snarkaristas around who want to get all in the guts of your project and pick it apart while still developing. I totally get the point of your post and appreciate your brazen honesty and transparency (wh

    >how the "moving pieces fit together" matters more than how much anybody cares. It takes both to take any meaningful, equitable, decisive action. Analysis without motivation leads us to scholarly indifference. Your point is taken when i

    Thanks for your insight and for your past championing of a more "ground level" approach to improving some crucial systems. The sort of community of which you speak does certainly sound like an exciting and powerful one. I hope that it exist

    It is a bit disconcerting to me that commenters here are fascinated by the technical analysis of this system and appear quite oblivious to the problem of starving human beings. Perhaps I am not intellectual enough to appreciate the empath

    I'm with you - This could be why it would be available only on the newest, 4G-enabled iPhone. If this was all handled in the cloud and delivered at 4G speeds, it could be compelling.

    I'm sure that it pays off for a percentage of organizations, but for many, that game represents a lot of time, money and effort that create no value. And with campaign contributions? Come on. For the federal elections of 2008, we used $5.3
